Right, that's exactly where we disagree :) Tag conflicts occur rarely so only a few people are concerned by this feature and I argue that these people will be equally well served by a config option. *But* even the option and the command line parameter fall short about addressing the issue I faced for the 2.3.2 bzr release where lp:bzr/2.3 needed to have its tags overwritten but was (still is and will be) unreachable (without asking a losa which is cheating).
How about landing this stuff behind a config option and *then* discuss about adding the parameter to have some progress ? That would even allow landing in 2.5 in this case as this will not break compatibility (assuming you update the foreign plugins accordingly).
